Tomcat Integration with iPlanet Webserver

AJP  (Apache JServ protocol ) is a communications protocol developed by apache.org to facilitate integration of the Tomcat web container with third party web servers. Web server specific AJP plugins have been developed for Apache, IIS and  iPlanet.nsapi_redirector.so Plugin developed to integrate the Tomcat server with iPlanet webserver.

How to Integrate the Tomcat server with iPlanet ?

• Load the nsapi_redirector.so plugin and worker.properties in magnus.conf file 

Init fn="load-modules" funcs="jk_init,jk_service" shlib="/opt/iplanet//lib/nsapi_redirector.so"

Init fn="jk_init" worker_file="/opt/iplanet/worker.properties" log_level="debug" log_file="/opt/iplanet/nsapi.log"

• Create the Worker Properties file 

/opt/iplanet/worker.properties

------------------------------------------------

# List of workers for handling incoming requests

worker.list=Worker1

worker.Worker1.host=Tomcat-Host-name.com

worker.Worker1.port=8009

worker.Worker1.type=ajp13

worker.Worker1.cachesize=100

worker.Worker1.lbfactor=1

• Add NameTran function in obj.conf file

         NameTrans fn="assign-name" from="/Tomcat-app/*" name="Tomcat-app"
        <Object name="Tomcat-app">
            Service fn="jk_service" worker="Worker1"
      </Object>

Note: If you have custom Custom-obj.conf file (Virtual servers) and has client configuration your  Reverse proxy configuration is as below.
Custom-obj.conf
-----------------------------------------------------
<Object name="default">
     <Client urlhost="example-server.com">
          NameTrans fn="assign-name" from="/Tomcat-app/*" name="Tomcat-app"
     </Client>
</Object>

<Object name="Tomcat-app">
         Service fn="jk_service" worker="Worker1"
</Object>
